Snakes on a Review II
August 17th, 2006 at 12:59 pm

A few weeks ago AICN posted a review, now Dread Central has one.  Is it real?  I don’t know, but it’s positive.  Here’s a small sample:

Snakes on a Plane delivers terror we haven’t seen in most modern horror films today. It’s not just the different ways a snake can creep up on you and deliver a bite, though that was pretty damn cool. It’s not just the FX guys going to town on some bubbling, twitching poison victims, though that did make me cringe more than once. It’s the “What If” factor thrown in. What happens to the guy in front when a bunch of people push down an aisle only made for single filing? What happens when a plane pitches and everything in the cabin comes loose? CARNAGE!! In reality, it wouldn’t just be the snakes you’d have to worry about.

Sure, Snakes on a Plane is about as subtle as opening the door to your house with a 50-lb. sledgehammer, but it never pretended to be. You have to respect that sort of honesty. This could have been the mysterious Pacific Air Flight 121. There is no mistaking a film called Snakes on a Plane. This is the swift kick in the ass this summer movie season has sorely needed.

I wonder how they got to see the movie early?

How do they get to see any movie early? Who knows. However I’m pleased with a good AICN review. That’s bank.

well im not reading a review with spoilers in it until i’ve seen the film. it would completely ruin the complex storylines and such…

The review is so vague I doubt the writer saw the movie.

I see the whole “Snakes on a Plane” phenom as a sarcastic parody of the mindless FEAR of screwdrivers on a plane, vaseline on a plane, exploding shoes on a plane, ad infinitum.

This is why SoaP is an instant cult classic before it is even released.

that review could have been made by reading the book. which happens to be good! as good as the movie even!
